Frank Lloyd Wright’s palatial former Plaza suite asks $18.9M

By
Once known as the Frank Lloyd Wright Suite–the architect lived in the corner apartment at the Plaza Hotel while he was working on the Guggenheim Museum from 1954 to 1959–this impressive condominium residence at 1 Central Park South occupies the rare level of Manhattan homes that just may justify its towering price tag. Asking $18,900,000, the 4,000-square-foot home adds up to a living space as dazzling as the park and city views it offers. Featured in Architectural Digest in 2014 as a media power pair's pied-a-terre, this extraordinary apartment offers the five-star hotel amenities of the iconic Plaza along with those views.

Behind a stately Village brownstone facade, a massive six-story mansion asks $35M

By
From a basement gym to a fully landscaped roof terrace–and the elevator that shuttles between them–the six-floor townhouse at 34 West 12th Street has all the trimmings of a contemporary suburban mansion. From the outside, the 1860s home maintains the genteel tone of the neighborhood, its perfectly preserved brownstone facade blending with neighbors on a tree-lined Greenwich Village block. Though a no-expenses-spared three-year renovation has endowed the home's interiors with over 7,000 square feet of luxury finishes and 2,000 square feet of private gardens and terraces, its $35,000,000 ask represents a tall order.
